German version

Interview with Adolf Hitler's adjutant Fritz Darges, recorded in 1997. In this interview, Fritz Darges, one of the most important contemporary witnesses from Hitler's inner leadership staff, gives the first impressive account of his time as Hitler's personal adjutant.

Until 1944, Darges worked alongside Hitler at the Führer's headquarters and on the Obersalzberg, interrupted by training courses and a deployment to the front.

Like probably no other, he got to know Hitler both as a politician and as a private citizen, and in this interview he reveals his knowledge in front of the camera for the first time.
